How easy is a chassis swap?

Hi all, I have a D Reg 110. I bought it with an exemption to LEZ. all was fine until I bought a new private plate, the exemption was then withdrawn! I got around this week to phoning them, and finally got through to a lady who indeed said I was exempt according to what was on the logbook. I...

Hi all, bought my 200tdi (registered as light 4x4 utility 6 seater/ PLG taxation class). 110 a couple of years back and it was all good on the LEZ checker. (I live within the zone) recently changed the number plate on it and happened to check last night and now IS SUBJECT to LEZ. ...

Hi guys, A novice mechanic, yet Landy lover here. I have an old 110 that’s got a bad leak going on. It’s coming somewhere out of the top. It would probably be difficult to diagnose exactly from the pics (although somebody may know) could I ask for the general consensus of the what the...

Hi guys, the worlds worst mechanic here. As above I’m getting difficulty going into gear. It also seems like the gear selection has moved?? Like it’s in a different position to the way it was..?? Don’t know if any of you can identify with what I mean..! I hope so as I need the bugger to...

Hi gents, Lazy arse defender driver here. Got a lovely old dog to drive around in, but never been great on the spanners. was wondering if any of you pros could do a list according to a 5,000 mile a year usage. What you’d check in a weekly/monthly/3 monthly basis etc. thanks in advance! mark

So I saw the thread on Mazda rx8 seats and thought they’d do nicely in the front of my old bus....BUT they weigh a ton and it’ll make it a mission to get to the battery compartment the next time I have a flat battery. So I thought that I could graft the bucket back with the bottom original seat...

Hi guys, bought a landy that I was told was solid. Took it all at face value over e bay and now swallowing a bitter pill. Here’s another hole I discovered in the footwell. Shouldn’t it have failed the mot in November if it was this bad? is this one an easy patch job? cheers mark.

So I’m getting my balls out and giving spraying a go.... never done it before! ive bought a decent 100litre compressor and a big tin of synthetic black. first question is prep.... sand flat then key it in? Got some decent primer. How many coats? Then synthetic paint.... don’t know...

Just been reading up on folding rear seats to put into my 110. looked at the prices and they’re nuts! chanced on a flea bay ad, and the fella they’re advertising disco 2 rear folding ‘dickie’ seats..... anybody know if these can be legitimately fitted as folding rear facing seats? Anything...

Hi fellas, The heater is not working on the project d reg I just bought. Are there common glitches that I should be looking at? cheers!

Hi Handy Landy Pals, I got an old D reg that I’m starting to restore. Never realised that the front window folds down! They will make life easier as I got the classic rot under above the air vent. Here are pictures. Question is fairly basic. a) looks like grip fill sealing the...

Watcha! Any of you wise old Land owls know of an easy fitting type of front seats from other manufacturer? I just need 2 fronts and the less work the better! cheers mark

Hello honky tonks, Git some serious tin worm under the windscreen. Here’s a picture As I understand it, the bits I’ll need are the vent section and the post section. I’ll just send on here the bits that I think they are- please let me know if I’m wrong or need to purchase something...

Hello chums, Having not seen many 110 chassis in my time, I’d like to know your thoughts on the (surface?) rust on mine. the previous owner had apparently jetted wax oil inside the chassis, so no major rot going right that I can see- just seems like the nick of time to deal with creeping rust...

Hi peeps, I’ve just bought my first project Landy. A few issues to deal with, but one that I need to sort out is that all doors have different keys... also one door is rotten, so I want to replace it. question is- Can I install a newer push handle door for the rotten one, and then have the...

Hello honky tonks, just bought a nice old d reg 110. A bit dog eared round the edges though Need opinions please on the best way of going about two tasks that I have to do, which is 1) sanding and spraying the chassis. 2) spraying my vehicle. Am thinking a air power set up should work for...

Hello chums! just bought my second defender. It’s on a D, and I ain’t is looking awful, although not much sign of tin worm. ive always liked things a bit rough and ready (just gotta look at er indoors to confirm that) and for a brief while was looking at doing a rat rod. Maas wondering what...

I’m looking at scaling back my gardening business and selling on my old 110 pick up. I want to get rid of the need for a domestic car and pick up, so I thought I’d see if it was straightforward(ish) to get a county, and take the back off to create a pick up bed while retaining the seating...

Hi guys, So I’m an occasional lurker. I drive a big old bus- a 110 with a unique pick up body. I’m always around Barnes, sw london and I honk and wave at all defenderamas whenever I see you! I’m starting to get ratty about the ULEZ extension that crook khan is bringing in.... anybody worked...
